2. General information
2.1 Warnings, legal information and safety

2.1.1 Warnings and notes

Throughout this document, a number of warnings and notes with helpful user information will be presented.
To ensure that these are noticed, they will be highlighted as follows in order to separate them from the gener-
al text.

Warnings

Warnings indicate a potentially dangerous situation, which could result in death, personal in-
jury or damaged equipment, if certain guidelines are not followed.

Notes

Notes provide general information, which will be helpful for the reader to bear in mind.

2.1.2 Legal information and disclaimer

DEIF takes no responsibility for installation or operation of the generator set. If there is any doubt about how
to install or operate the engine/generator controlled by the Multi-line 2 unit, the company responsible for the
installation or the operation of the set must be contacted.

The Multi-line 2 unit is not to be opened by unauthorised personnel. If opened anyway, the war-
ranty will be lost.

Disclaimer
DEIF A/S reserves the right to change any of the contents of this document without prior notice.

2.1.3 Safety issues

Installing and operating the Multi-line 2 unit may imply work with dangerous currents and voltages. Therefore,
the installation should only be carried out by authorised personnel who understand the risks involved in work-
ing with live electrical equipment.

Be aware of the hazardous live currents and voltages. Do not touch any AC measurement in-
puts as this could lead to injury or death.

2.1.4 Electrostatic discharge awareness

Sufficient care must be taken to protect the terminal against static discharges during the installation. Once the
unit is installed and connected, these precautions are no longer necessary.

2.1.5 Factory settings

The Multi-line 2 unit is delivered from factory with certain factory settings. These are based on average values
and are not necessarily the correct settings for matching the engine/generator set in question. Precautions
must be taken to check the settings before running the engine/generator set.

4. Functional description
4.1 Digital inputs

The digital inputs available in this option can be used for two purposes:
1. Protection (alarm) inputs
2. Function inputs

4.2 Protection/alarm inputs

The delay settings are all of the definite time type, i.e. a set time is selected. The delay will be activated if the
input goes ON (or OFF if selected to be N/C). If the input is reset before the delay runs out, the delay will be
reset.
Input Input Input
ON OFF ON

Timer setting

Time
Timer Timer Timer Alarm
start reset start
When the delay runs out, the output will be activated.

4.2.1 Function input

The function inputs can be set up via the PC utility software.

The PC utility software is a Windows®-based software, which can be downloaded from our website www.de-
if.com. To adjust the inputs via the PC utility software, a computer must be connected to the controller unit.
Furthermore, the unit parameters must be uploaded to the computer.

Please refer to the Designer’s Reference Handbook for a complete list of the available input
functions.

4.3 Relay setup

Each relay has a function and an OFF delay setting as described below.

Function Description
Alarm relay NE When the relay is activated, an alarm is displayed. The relay will remain activated for
as long as the alarm is present and unacknowledged.
Alarm relay ND When the relay is activated, an alarm is displayed. The relay will remain activated for
(GPU/GPU Hydro as long as the alarm is present and unacknowledged.
only)
Alarm/reset The functionality is similar to "Alarm", but with a short-time reset if the relay is ON and
(GPU/GPU Hydro another alarm tries to activate the same relay.
only)
Limit relay When the relay is activated, no alarm message is displayed. After the condition activat-
ing the relay has returned to normal, the relay will deactivate when the "OFF delay"
has expired.
Horn relay When the relay is activated, an alarm message is displayed. The relay will be activated
until the time set in menu 6130 "Alarm horn" has expired or the alarm activating the
relay has been acknowledged.
Siren relay (GPU/ The output activates on all alarms, like “Horn output”. If the relay is ON and another
GPU Hydro only) alarm is active, a short-time reset = 1 s will be activated.
OFF delay The "OFF delay" is used when limit relay is selected. It is the time between the disap-
pearance of the event that caused the relay to activate and the actual deactivation of
the relay.

It is possible to configure the relay outputs to be used for speed and/or voltage regulation.
Please refer to the Designer’s Reference Handbook.

The relays can also be used together with M-logic. Please refer to the help function in the PC
utility software.

4.4 External analogue setpoints

4.4.1 AGC
The genset can be controlled from internal as well as from external setpoints. The external setpoints are acti-
vated with a digital signal.

Five inputs can be selected, and their function depends on the mains breaker position.

Input Frequency Power Voltage Reactive power Power factor

Island mode, stand-alone X X
Island mode, load sharing X X
Parallel to the mains X X X

The controller setpoints will be ignored if the running condition is not present. For instance, it is not possible
to use the frequency controller when paralleling to the mains.

DEIF A/S Page 9 of 11

Option M12, 4189340699 UK Functional description

The table below shows the setpoints.

Controller Input voltage Description Comment

Frequency +/-10V DC fNOM +/-5 Hz Active when MB is OFF
Power +/-10V DC +/-100% *PNOM
Voltage +/-10V DC UNOM +/-10% Active when GB is OFF
Reactive power +/-10V DC +/-100% *QNOM
Power factor ÷10 V…0…10V DC 0.6 capacitive…1.0…0.6 inductive

The external setpoints can be used in all genset modes when auto or semi-auto mode is selected.

Only a limited number of digital inputs are available in the standard unit. The unit should be
installed with the sufficient number of options to get the desired digital inputs.

If the option H2 is available in the unit, the external setpoints can be controlled from the control
registers in the Modbus protocol. Please refer to the description of option H2 for further infor-
mation.
